Calculation in pascal

Hey guys i have written a program calculating a bet,the program is working just fine but there is calculation regarding powers that gave me a little problem in pascal so i took the easy way out.the calculation is

Amount Won = ((bet ^2) / (bet^2 - 100 * bet)) * 25000

[b]Bet[/b] is a variable

[b]I just multiplied the variable each time in pascal not using the power function [/b]

Pascal does have a square function ([color=Purple]sqr[/color]) or you can do like you have beendoing and just multiply the bet to itself. And in Pascal with some optimizationand minimizing the number of calculations, you could:[code] var bet : integer; { the bet } betsq : integer; { the bet squared }
